The deputy governor of Germany’s Bavaria state defended himself Thursday against mounting allegations that he was responsible for an antisemitic flyer, gave the Hitler salute, and imitated the Nazi dictator as a high school student — claims that have caused an uproar weeks before a state election.
Pressure has been growing on Hubert Aiwanger, who is also Bavaria's economy minister, to explain himself, as German media have been confronting him with more allegations since the first report about the antisemitic flyer was published last week.
